The Negrada tells the story of Magdalena and Juanita, two women linked to each other. In the spiritual world, they have the same guardian animal and in the material world, they have in common Neri, Juanita's husband, of whom Magdalena is the mistress. Juanita's death will open Magdalena's eyes and give her the strength to take control of her life, without Neri. In Mexico, people of African origin represent about 1% of the total population, yet they have still not been recognized as a people, an ethnic group or a cultural referent, which has led to their marginalization and social discrimination. The Negrada is the first fiction film filmed in these communities, with local non-professional actors. It is an effort to give them a voice and make them visible.
